If the side lengths of B are 2x as long as the side lengths of A then the volume of B should be the volume of A^2
216^2=46,656
46,656-216=46,440
This can be more easily displayed with smaller numbers
If cube X were 2*2*2 then the volume would be 8
If cube Y were 4*4*4 then the volume would be 64
8(volume of cube X)^2=64(volume of cube Y)
x=2y-2
x=y+3
Substitute the second equation into the first
y+3=2y-2
solve for y
y=5
plug into original
x=y+3=5+3=8 or x=2(5)-2=8
Allentown got 8 ft of snow, Georgetown got 5 ft of snow.
